Intriguing

This is an intriguing book to listen to, as Luke learns some things about his best friend Damien. Also Crimson has to relearn things. They have some problems to deal with. I like following the chemistry between them as they are drawn together. The narrator is brilliant and really brought the story to life.

Great

I think I liked this one even more than book 1. Love our little nerdlet. Just a great well rounded story with teasers for more. Both MCs were fun but I would have liked a little more detail on Damien’s feeling before he was Crimson otherwise a exciting listen with great narration and fun characters.

as good as the ebook

The story is always 4-5 stars, because if I wouldn't like the story as ebook, I wouldn't listen to the audiobook. I can't listen to an audiobook without knowing the book, that's not possible for me.

The performance from the narrator is also very important for me. I can't listen to a lot, because my English as a non-native-speaker isn't so perfect to follow a whole story over hours, when the narrator speaks too fast or too sloppy. Normally I have to SEE the person, who is talking to me in English. It took me a little bit, to come into the narrator, but at the end, it worked. I only have to take a few breaks between. I'm just not yet finish with the book, I’m over the half, but I listen enough to give a review.

PLEASE READ MY RATING SYSTEM!!!

To my ratings:

5* - very very good
it's like an A+

4* - very good and will be often re-listening
it's like an A

3* - it's more then a one-time-listening.
it's like a B

Vampy Goodness

As with all stories narrated by John Solo, the performance is perfect. You get a good feel for all the different characters and it is easy to settle into and enjoy the story.
This is the second book in the Thicker Than Water series and is a wonderful follow-on from book one. I love the emotion and love in the story. It's the sort of story you want to listen to without stopping!

I look at you and see all the ways a soul

can bruise, and I wish I could sink my hands into your flesh and light lanterns along your spine so you know that there's nothing but light when I see you. ~Shinji Moon 🌙~
I'm really enjoying this series. I like the plot and all of the side characters, even if they are vile, it adds depth and keeps the story interesting. The one thing I'm not enjoying is the whining from the brothers so far. Luke was even worse than Collin. Half way through I wanted to throw cheese at his head. "Would you like some cheese with your WHINE???" Ugh. I'm happy it calmed down a bit but Luke definitely grinded on my nerves. However, even with that mild annoyance I sincerely enjoyed the relationship between Crimson & Luke. I didn't feel like it was an insta love relationship. Crimson loved Luke for a long time before he got turned. I feel like Luke has always felt that way as well but was oblivious to everything going on around him. When they did reconnect it felt real.
I'm nervous to listen to Jared & Silas's story though. When Silas was being forced to drink the animal blood by his sire I felt nauseous and cringed at their realtionship. I can't imagine all the thing Silas was forced to do or how brutally he was treated. I'm happy Nikolai is gone, best part of the book. 😈

Luke will get them all killed

This was a good follow up to book one. We get to learn a little more about the vampires. The only downside is Luke. He reminds me of the kids in disaster movies that does things to get everyone else killed.

I just love this narrator

I already read the book and now got a chance to listen to the book. I just love how John Solo narrates a book. I've never been disappointed as of yet and don't think I ever will be ;)
I really liked to read/listen to Luke's story. I felt so bad for him when he lost his best friend in the first book of this series. He deserves a happy ending. especially with Crimson/Damian. :)

My favorite on the series so far...

This book, second in the series, is my favorite so far. Not only because the amazing story Ms Byrde wrote for it about Luke struggling to recover Damian's love, overcoming prejudice, danger and his own fears to do it, but also because the incredible narration and performance Mr Solo made. I am a huge fan of him because his smooth voice, acting skills and how he develops the characters in a book bringing them alive. Cliché, I know but totally true. I can't wait for book 3!

Amazing!

Luke ❤️ I loved him in the first book and was so looking forward to his story; and it didn’t disappoint. Luke and Crimson were adorable together. This book definitely had a touch of innocence that wasn’t in the first book, but they were both willing to do whatever it took for the other’s safety. You could definitely feel their love on every page, even if it took Luke a while to see it. I’m intrigued by the world, and love that we’re getting to learn it right alongside a lot of the main characters. That sneak preview at the end has me dying waiting for the next one! I did miss the babies we usually get with an AKB story, but with the age of these two MCs it was nice to see them playing it safe. As always, John Solo did a phenomenal job with the narration
